I think we underestimate how much mental damage early-wave PC that's permeated the culture has done to American identity, including many I've absorbed. The worst was defining "Native American" as referring exclusively to American Indians, which serves to de-legitimize whites as being native inhabitants even after being here for centuries, and defining them as fundamentally identical to any rando who hopped the border 5 minutes ago. There's plenty of other constructs designed to funnel non-whites into a homogenized anti-white coalition, some subtler than others. One big one has been the banishment of the term "negro" in favor of "black" or "African American," which erase any distinction between darker-skinned peoples of African ancestry, and in particular erases the African diaspora in America descended from slaves and their unique identity and history. Barack Obama and Kamala Harris are two prominent examples of "African American" affirmative action babies with no ancestral connection to the American Negro we all think of.

@ArdainianRight early-wave = deliberate Sapir-Whorf lobotomization of the public. Nativism isn't possible because it can't even be communicated. Immigrants can't be denied privileges because the immigrants are indistinguishable.
current wave = just triumphantly kicking right-wingers in the nuts. Yeah you have to say "they" now about single subjects with a known sex, because if you do otherwise then 1/1000th of the time a deranged person incites a mob against you like Zeus smiting blasphemers out of the blue.

@ArdainianRight MFW when Jamal looses a smidgeon of racial identification. Seriously though I can’t really be assed to care when they’re given daddy ZOG’s teet as a cudgel again us.

The issue isn't so much sympathy for this or that group so much as to illustrate the enemy's linguistic tricks designed to funnel populations into its ideological framework.
